Welcome to the page for St Mary's Witcombe with Bentham. 

We are part of The Greenway Benefice, which includes ourselves and our sister churches, Holy Trinity Badgeworth and St Paul's Shurdington. Click here for a link to the Benefice page and our other churches.

How are we being church at the moment?

Praying lots. Ringing friends and neighbours. Shopping for people. Staying home as much as we can.

Resources are available online and via email. We are livestreaming worship on our Facebook page.

Why not try saying the Lord's Prayer at noon, online or offline, from wherever you are?

Because church is still church, wherever we are. 🙏

In normal circumstances, we hold services in all three churches every Sunday, except on the 5th Sunday of the month when we often meet in Shurdington School to share worship with the school community, our sister churches and friends from Shurdington Chapel.

Services in St Mary's are usually at 11am.

You are very welcome to come along any Sunday - you will be warmly welcomed.

Safeguarding
